Contract Pilots: Deadbeat Aircraft Owner List

It's 10am on a Saturday and you get a call for a contract trip from a new client. Things are looking up! You are excited to get into the air and ready to show the new client what a great decision it was to call you. But how do you make sure you will get paid? Although having an aircraft is not a cheap endeavor, there are still companies and owners who don't pay contractors, lessees, management companies, fbos, etc. Where can you go to see if your new client is one of those deadbeat owners? How do you mitigate the risk of flying without getting paid? The Aero Liens List is a free resource which tracks and lists leins placed against aircraft owners. You can search the list by Tail number, Serial number and Claimaint Name. If your new client is on the list then you may want to think twice about doing the trip or get paid in advance!
